TANDEM PARAGLIDING in Oregon & Washington

   Have you ever stood at the top of a hill overlooking the valley below and wondered what it would be like to fly? Now you can experience the joy of personal, foot-launched flight in its purest form - on a paraglider!

   For a modest fee, you can soar with the eagles and hawks in warm thermal air currents rising from the earth.

   Tandem flights are the easiest and safest way to experience the thrill of soaring. It is also a good way to check out the sport. An introductory tandem flight lets you fly right away without having to spend days of training. The passenger can even fly the aircraft. Tandem flights require only a 20 minute briefing before you are in the air for the first time! By the end of the flight you will have a basic understanding of how paragliders operate and fly.

   You may bring a compact camera if you wish, however there is an on-board video camera to capture your entire flight. The recorded flight will be uploaded to a thumb-drive for you to take home. Watch the video below for a sample of a video recorded flight. Visit the photo gallery link to view a host of in flight photos.

   There are numerous established flying sites throughout the Northwest. Please visit the weather page for a map of the flying sites and their weather link.
